you could also sub Firpo for Alba and free-switch Grizzi and Messi for CF, as Grizzi could track back more to support MF when needed. Either way, this would kill any opposition with manchild turning into Billy the Kid mode

LMAO that myth went down the drain this year. Juve bent over so much for Ronaldo then proceeded to chant the name of Mina Raiola. Imagine what they would do for the 2nd best player in the world. Probably let him go back for his mothers, fathers and brothers birthdays too and pay for the private jet.

True. I can see Berlusconi lending him his private jets and dance the Taratella to welcome him back. errr if behind bars, he'll just send an operatic welcoming ensemble instead

Ronaldo is 10x more professional than Neymar when it comes to commitment and work rate, plus he offers even more in terms of marketability.

And De Ligt, well he is the biggest defensive talent out there. And as per reports his wages are 7.5M, i wouldn't call it outrageous.

Damn, this guy has taken his toxicity to a whole new level. No wonder he is losing out to Mbappe. Everyday is a new drama. I doubt he won't be doing that here.

Guy has destroyed his career all by himself. His greed, ego, selfishness, lack of commitment are all coming to haunt him back.

At the current situation, it doesn't even look like he will be able to stay at top level for long.

I don't know why we are even interested in him. He is not needed for the short term, and he is too old for long term.

If the board really wants to splash the cash, spend it on someone young like Havertz, Sancho, Sane etc. Get a proper LB and reinforce the areas where change is needed, attack is more than good atm.

Hahaha my goodness what a myth about Italian defending these days. A league where apart from Juve the best defenders in the league are Koulibaly, Manolas and Skriniar, who are not even that good and then there is hardly anyone else.

Ligue 1 and Serie A are almost identical in quality. One great team by far and then a bunch of teams behind them. Same as Bundesliga. I would say all 3 of those leagues are as identical in quality as they have ever been.

Of course we can't expect a 34 yr old to dribble like a 27 year old, that's why I keep saying Ney is better than CR7 TODAY. TODAY.

In terms of dribbling-YES.In terms of deciding big matches-NO.

Very good point. I think, Messi should take care of his own staff instead of deciding who is going to play in Barcelona. That is not his job and in this case, he is going against the majority of our fans.

Another very correct post. Congrats.
In short, Neymar is a cancer, who will destroy our team chemistry if he comes back. We don't need that. You don't upgrade your team with this kind of players. Period.
The transfer window will close very soon, so we don't need to waste our time and energy to even talk about this guy. Bartomeu should stop any negotiations with Leonardo and concentrate on finding 2-3 more pieces for our team. I don't give a damn what Messi and Suarez wants. It is not their job to decide who is going to play for Barcelona.

 

[BarcaMessi]

should have splashed 60-70m on Rodrygo than wasting 200m+ on a washed up circus freak show

he's so toxic and unprofessional it's disgusting!

We are talking about who is better TODAY. You claim today Ney has no output and CR does, yet Neys stats are BETTER than Cr's stats this past season, in comparable teams in comparable leagues. And stats don't even include all the pre-assists, playmaking, dribbling, turning defense in to attack, that Ney does as standard and CR hardly does at all.

Don't mean this in a bad way, but I'm almost sure you don't watch Ney in Ligue 1 or CR in serie A and are basing your judgement on 2 hatricks vs Atleti and Switzerland. Like most people here are.

Look. Neymar is maybe the most technical player today in the World, but you have to understand one simple thing.If Ney was playing in sixties and seventies, he would have been one of the top 3 along with Pele and Garincha. But today's soccer is faster and lot more physical. Serjio Ramos is the most brutal player in the World, but there are hundreds other, just like him. No one will allow Neymar to do his tricks and to show his technical level in a game. That is why, he spends 70 % of the time on the ground. Ronaldo is also very technically gifted and lot more faster. He is a better team-player and transfers his talent and energy into the team. He is a winner.Look at his trophies collection ( not a personal ones ) and compare it to Neymar's. He won CL with Manchester Utd., Real and very soon will get another with Juve. Neymar won the CL in 2015, because he played with super-star team-mates like Messi, Suarez, Iniesta, Xavi, Pique e.t.c. We don't like Christiano because he was playing many years in Madrid, but if I have a choice, I will take CR7 over Ney ANY SINGLE DAY.

 

[Givenchy]

in a 1 off game, I'd take Ronaldo over ANY other player in world football including Messi but if i'm watching every game we play over a full season, Neymar is much better for me in regards to entertainment/magic as watching Ronaldo these days is boring. i want to win CLs but being entertained is also important

both Cristiano and Neymar are irrelevant outside the CL now as both play in weak leagues. i don't care how many goals either score in Ligue1/Serie A, its not impressive

anyways in regards to the latest developments, it seems Neymar is doing everything in his power to force an exit. if PSG move for Dybala, Neymar to Barca looks more and more likely

 

[LABarcaFan]

4231 will be used and is EV preferred formation

and in that 4 - 2 - 3 -1 system our team will looks like this:

Semedo - Pique - Lenglet - Alba

De Jong Arthur

Messi Griezmann Dembele

Suarez

 

[Jadentheman]

he's so toxic and unprofessional it's disgusting!

He’s gonna have to be if he wants to force an exit. I knew this was coming

 

[Richard.H]

What are the rules regarding contract obligations for a player? What if he continues to not show up to training and not even show up for matches? Can they keep punishing him with fines?

I think almost everyone would take prime Cr7 over Neymar (Ronaldo is so focused and a professional to the core)
